Featured Recipe

The sentiment of love through food often comes in the form of sweets.... sweets for your sweetheart, sweetie, sugar bear, honey bun.... Even more, that sentiment is carried to a deeper level with chocolate! So when dreaming up a gift for that special someone in my life I decided what's better than cake, a cherry chocolate cake at that.
